NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / August 9, 2019 / BitMax.io (BTMX.com) has announced the listing of the Harmony (ONE), a fully-sharded, proof-of-stake blockchain. Harmony is ready to establish the strategic partnership with BitMax.io to further its buildout of a fully scalable and provably secure blockchain system that supports the emerging decentralized economy.

What is Harmony?

Harmony is a secure, fast blockchain with innovations in state sharding and peer-to-peer networking. It uses secure proof-of-stake with sharding and a distributed randomness generation process (DRG) which is unpredictable, verifiable, and scalable. Its networking achieves fast block propagation and optimal cross-shard routing.

Harmony's 20-person team in Silicon Valley and around the world specializes in academic research, global-scale engineering, and long-term company building. The team members have built large scale systems at some of the top tech companies in the world and are now united to create a new global-scale blockchain infrastructure. Their mission is to bring scale trust for billions of people.

The Harmony Ecosystem and Partnerships

Harmony plans to build an ecosystem focused on creating partnerships that drive the adoption of the protocol across a variety of use cases and verticals including gaming, decentralized finance, and data sharing. It will enable applications that were not previously feasible on blockchain such as high-volume decentralized exchanges, Visa-scale payment systems, and Internet-of-Things micro transactions.

Harmony helps businesses build marketplaces of fungible tokens such as loyalty points and energy credits, as well as non-fungible assets like real estate and game collectibles. It provides zero-knowledge proofs for data sharing while preserving the privacy of consumers.

Harmony already has a number of partnerships. In October 2018 it announced a partnership with Animoca Brands, a publicly-traded developer and publisher of internationally recognized mobile games and brands. It also recently announced a partnership with Contentos, a public blockchain project with a global user base of 60 million people to distribute dApps. Its partnership with Hummingbot is giving decentralized ONE makers the platform to execute $1M worth of trades in just 12 days.

What is BitMax.io?

The card allows global users to forecast and trade-off price fluctuations of underlying major coins during preset time windows. The Turtle and Bunny cards are purchased to predict price movement within or above a certain range and users who predict the correct range of price movement receive a payout equivalent to the notional value of the card.
